locals() doesn't work at the top level

[amtriathlon]

This simple test works in Python but, it is failing in our implementation:

a=1 assert "a" in locals()

Matthew, is there any way to make dir() return the same as locals()?

If this is complicated the alternative is support only dir(obj) for now, eventually raising an error indicating to use locals() instead of dir(), let me now.

It would seem the obvious choice is to have it actually call locals() whatever that returns.

Locals is a normal function, not a macro.

Would that work?

Not at all: locals() is a normal function but, it returns the locals of the function calling it, in this case dir() not the locals of the environment where dir() is being called, which is the intended behavior.

I've tried to call what locals calls (%locals) and it doesn't work either.

I'm sorry; I immediately assumed that this is being implemented in Core.

I see now that we actually implement this in attr.py in surface syntax. I'll make it happen.

Sorry for throwing you down the wrong path before.
